Documentary: Give thanks with Volcom!

Cranberry saucy sweet doc continues about Volcom's antebellum (pre-WW III) Pipe manors...

And here we have part two of Red Bull’s series looking into Volcom House life and what a wonderful life it is! There is surfing, training, cleaning and eating. Derek Rielly, currently en route to Israel, wrote of the first offering:

Of all the surf industries acquisitions, nothing comes close to Volcom’s snatching of two beachfront houses at Pipe for…credibility. There is nothing superfluous or gimmicky about owning two houses for your surfers that front the heaviest wave on the North Shore.

Ten years ago, the company, which was formed by the former Quiksilver marketing staffer Richard Wolcott in 1991, bought a single-storey beachfront bungalow at Pipe. It soon became a headquarters for unruly bronzed men and women ruddy with desire.

Two years later, the company dropped $4.2 million on the three-storey house built by Gerry Lopez and his Lightning Bolt partners in the seventies.

This documentary, produced by Red Bull, takes you through these gentlemanly manor houses. It will cost you roughly eighteen-and-a-half minutes, unlocking none of the secrets but revealing much of their mysterious charm.

And no secrets are revealed in this second helping either but it is fun and a welcome relief to whatever your work day holds. So feast your eyes! And your ears on the luscious baritone of that narrator! So HBO! Also, maybe watch before the WSL sends his lawyers after it…
